Journey to the End of the Night

Chapter 1674 - 1006: Lure the Enemy into the Trap

Qin Muqing felt her face heat up, but seeing Baili An’s charismatic demeanor of accepting all comers, it was exactly what she desired.However, this young man was somewhat undiscriminating. She, Qin Muqing, knew she was exceptional in appearance, with an outstanding figure within a group of women.

This kind of intentional seduction was hard for any man to resist.

But it was their first encounter; a beautiful yet unfamiliar woman proactively approaching offered a hint of peculiar calculation.

Anyone with a bit of sense would exercise caution.

Moreover, this Wanggui Building was under the territory of Fang Geyu.

Even if she took the initiative to flirt, the young man, no matter how moved, should show some restraint in public.

He should at least pretend to be proper and composed to avoid truly angering Fang Geyu, the major patron.

Qin Muqing was confident in her ability to handle men and had a varied arsenal of tactics.

She was prepared that if he acted all serious and dignified, she had her ways to handle the next steps.

However, she had just baited the hook, yet the big fish had already jumped into her lap.

Qin Muqing couldn’t quite describe what was strange, but she saw Steward Li peeking in from outside the curtain.

After awkwardly lingering for a while, he left, concerned and nervously placing a barrier around them.

To avoid another ill-mannered individual like Qin Muqing from barging in uninvited.

If at the Golden Immortal auction, a scandalous private liaison was enacted, offending both Miss Fang San and Steward Qin Da would occur.

Baili An noticed Steward Li’s departure, lounging lazily on the chair, lifting his eyelids lightly, holding a wine jug idly in one hand.

His pose resembled a decadent noble youth in the old royal court, indulging in pleasures with flowers and jade.

He swirled the wine jug, his blue eyes exuding affection yet carrying a trace of roguishness: "This ’Gu Fengchun’ is indeed good; Qin Fourth Lady also wants to try?"

Qin Muqing’s expression slightly stiffened, in this empty elegant room, and with Steward Li setting up a barrier before leaving.

Alone with a man and a woman, whatever happened would remain unknown to outsiders, not to mention angering Fang Geyu.

If something indeed occurred, seeing the young man’s appearance as a master of love affairs, he would likely turn hostile and disavow, sneakily enjoying without implicating himself.

Wouldn’t that be giving advantage away for nothing?

After Steward Li left, Qin Muqing decided not to further flaunt, repositioning her body propped on the table, preparing to withdraw, smiling perfunctory:

"Thinking carefully, it’s better to not. After all, today is Golden Immortal Feng Xu’s auction event.

If one gets drunk and loses composure, making mistakes in bidding for desired treasures, it would be quite bad."

Her palm on the table slightly exerted force, lifting her upper body intending to withdraw.

Unexpectedly, Baili An suddenly reached out a hand, seemingly casually yet swiftly, his fingertip subtly pressing on the hollow of her waist.

Qin Muqing’s smile froze, as if the space around suddenly sealed off, her muscles paralyzed and struggled to control.

A peculiar sensation from the touched spot transmitted like an electric current.

The paralysis akin to a blade wrapped in lightning, severing the nodes of spiritual power within her.

Qin Muqing’s beauty turned cold as her spirit platform opened wide, pale blue talismanic intent sprayed mist-like.

Frost-like mist traced swiftly across her skin, seeming to drive away the paralytic aura.

Baili An smiled faintly, then rested his whole hand on her waist.

"Crackle!"

A sound of thunder and lightning rang out, deep within Qin Muqing’s trembling pupils, a purple electric arc torn quickly.

The icy blue frost mist on her skin scattered suddenly like dust particles in the wind.

At this moment, Qin Muqing felt like a puppet bound by strings, unable to move a bit.

Even the talisman spirit within her Sea of Consciousness was tightly suppressed, not a trace of talismanic power could be mobilized.

She looked at Baili An full of shock, but fortunately, her speech wasn’t lost: "You... already quickly mastered the Divine Talisman ’Purple Lightning’ power."

The Divine Talisman could suppress all talisman spirits of the world.

But the strength of the Divine Talisman was beyond ordinary body control.

A newly awakened Divine Talisman was extremely unstable.

If a Spirit Cultivator was powerful, there was a chance to forcefully open the spirit platform and separate the Divine Talisman from its host.

Qin Muqing, while influencing gently, couldn’t deny the factor of Fang Geyu.

She herself was also interested in Baili An’s Divine Talisman.

If she obtained the Divine Talisman, not only the seven elders of Shifang City but even Fang You, the City Lord, would bow to her.

She calculated everything, yet didn’t foresee that in such a short time, the boy could control a Divine Talisman power.

This Tao Cultivator pursuing the Taixuan Nine Classics, had such a remarkable talent in talismanic arts?

Qin Muqing believed even if she wasn’t restrained currently, where he seemed full of openings, she wouldn’t have the skill to take his Divine Talisman.

Despite how detestable reality might be.

Considering another perspective, the boy possessed six Divine Talismans, limitless potential.

If she could fully win him over from Fang Geyu, conquering both his body and mind...

That would indeed be a favorable trend.
